Humerus

The skeletal system is a very important part of a human’s body. Without the skeletal system, we would not be able to move. The skeletal system is made up of mostly bone, but also tendons, ligaments and cartilage, which are arranged into a solid structure that supports and protects the body. We will look at the skeletal system in more detail covering, the functions, bone structure, bone classification, joint classification and diseases that affect the skeletal system. The skeletal system has…

exposure to the medical profession. I was nine years old when a drunk driver crashed into my car as my family and I were coming home from a restaurant. I came out unscathed, but my mother’s right arm broke and she needed surgery to replace her right humerus. The doctor who performed the surgery was an orthopedic named Dr. Robert Myles; little did I know that hewould becomea…

living things is anatomical structure. Many animals share the same types of body and bone structures, which could only mean that they inherited it from a common ancestor. A specific example of this would be the bones in human’s arms, specifically the humerus, radius and the ulna. The forelegs of cats and dogs, the flippers on whales, and the wings of birds all share these exact same bones. This would lead us to assume that they either inherited this from a common ancestor or developed them…

humans, whales, crocodiles, cats, birds, and bats all differ drastically on the biological spectrum, they share many of the same bones and limbs. For example, using the human as a comparison, the other animals also share some semblance of having a humerus, ulna, radius, carpal, metacarpal, and phalanges. 2. Are the bones of the limbs arranged in a similar or in a very different way in each animal? The bones of the limbs are arranged in a very similar way in each animal because they…

Most of the bones in the lower and upper extremities are long bones, including the femur, tibia, fibula, and metatarsals in the lower limb, and the humerus, radius, ulna, and metacarpals in the upper extremity. Each long bone has a shaft called a diaphysis and two ends that are usually wider than the shaft, known as epiphyses (singular = epiphysis). During the childhood and adolescent years, these cartilaginous…

Analyze the bone remodeling process and the minerals involved in that process. Distinguish among the twelve common bone markings and provide examples of in which bones and locations those markings are found. Condyle- it is a large rounded prominence fitting into a fossa. This type of bone marking is a process that forms joints forming i.e. the medial condyle of the femur (Mid Lands Tech, 2016). Crest- it is slightly risen with protruded ridges. This type of bone marking is a process to attach…

Gordon Hayward Injury/Career Injuries often occur in the NBA, some are really bad injuries and some are not that horrible. The injury that I’m going to talk about is one of the most horrifying injuries to witness in NBA history. The injury was seen all over the world on national television and seen by 20,562 fans of the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Boston Celtics in Cleveland Ohio. What I am going to talk about in this essay is about Boston Celtics forward Gordon journey to the NBA, Career, and…

head and short head. The long head originates at the supraglenoid tubercle above the socket of the scapula. The origin of the short head is at the carocoid process of the scapula. Both heads unite to form one large muscle at the interior side of the humerus and attach to the radial tuberosity (the insertion). Difference and similarities between the different types of muscle and the different muscle fibre types: There are many different groups of muscles and composition of muscle tissue in the…

clothing with dreadlock like hair. His clothing and body were covered with scabies and bugs. Mr. Griffin was cleansed with lotion to kill the scabies and his hair was shaved off. His pupils were sluggish to light. He had obvious deformities of his left humerus and left leg. His fractures sites were splinted in the emergency department. He had a right inguinal hernia. There was crepitus to his left tibia and fibula. Both legs were swollen and edematous. He was completely nonverbal. He would…

network allowing for nutrients to be diffused. The bone cells transport materials along the line as needed so that each cell can receive the proper nutrients, and they continue this process until flat bone is formed. In long bones, which include the humerus and femur, a different growth process is used. The beginning formation of the bone appears as a simpler form of the future complete bone. Through continued growth, the bone allows blood vessels which provide bone stem cells to come inside.…
